Ha ha, the Ukranazi coup regime trusted NATO!
Crisis in Ukranazistan.. the Ukranazi regime trusted NATO! – #ragheadthefiendlyterrorist
Putin’s Great Gamble Winning!.. “Better get used to Illegal Sanctions than Grovel Forever to Avoid them”..
Bowing to demands from the Russian Parliament Putin has recognized and can send ‘Peacekeeping’ troops to Donbass
By effectively taking control of Donbass Russia may protect the Russian population not already evacuated and thwart the US and Ukraine’s NATO backed Russophobic campaign.
The Great Gamble of course is whether the powerful US military issues Russia with a nuclear ultimatum to get out of Ukraine. And if Ukraine launches the 150,000 army it has on the Donbass borders, armed with the latest free gifts from NATO.
Then Russia would have to defend Donbass (or abandon a million Russians) causing a massacre of Ukrainian troops, causing a NATO intervention, causing a nuclear holocaust ……
Latest indications are that the US will back down, not cutting Russia’s Energy exports or stifling trade by banning it from the Swift system.
Putin orders Russian army to enter Ukraine’s Donbas ‘to support peace’
The EU and US will no doubt install their already prepared massive economic sanctions, but Russia has resisted previous sanctions and right now is rolling in cash, with gas and oil prices still rising.
The sanctions were coming anyway, and could be a massive own goal if energy and other vital raw materials are cut off in reply.
The Donbass rebels lack Turkish Drones, Javelin missiles, Stingers, etc
Russian State launches massive military operation amid fears
The trouble with the chessboard analogy is that the aim of that game is to annihilate the enemy.. which could easily include you and me! And even if Russia does manage to force a Peace it will surely worsen rightwing chauvinism and repressive nationalism in Russia, to the detriment of any dissent and the over 100 ethnic minorities
The final logic of decadent predator Capitalism is total war. This combined with the curse of far right Statist nationalism in Europe has historically inspired hatred, repression and finally killing of ethnic and religious minorities, who happen to be stranded in the ‘wrong’ State.
After two world wars the recipe repeats itself, with the west advancing on Russia’s borders, colonizing and supporting the neo nazi movement in Ukraine. Nobody really knows why..
Putin orders Russian military to ‘maintain peace’ in Donbass…
Russia cannot abandon its citizens in Donbass, and is obsessed with the memory of the last time the west attacked Russia in 1941, finally leaving over 20 million Russian and USSR people dead.

Putin’s Great Gamble is to step right into the trap and double dare the USA to attack. And to see if Russia can survive Savage Sanctions. Europe has let itself be dragged into the endless insane US and UK Crusade against Russia, which must now assert its borders and turn East, to China.

Roger Waters and Angela Davies demand Freedom for Nudem Durak, jailed for 10 years in Turkey for singing in Kurdish .. Eng/Cat

Monday, February 21, 2022
Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters has demanded the release of Kurdish singer Nudem Durak, who has been imprisoned in Turkey since 2015 for performing songs in her mother tongue.
Authoritarian President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has trceived a call for the release of Durak, who is in Bayburt Prison. She is one of tens of thousands jailed in Turkey, a NATO state, for opposing the neo-fascist regime.
“She’s our sister,” Mr. Waters said. “Whatever you think of the Kurds’ desire for recognition, it is unacceptable for a country with a great historical artistic heritage like Turkey to treat artists like that.”
Durak was jailed for “belonging to a terrorist organization” and “spreading terrorist propaganda” after singing at an event to commemorate Newroz, the Kurdish New Year.
A global campaign for her release has the backing of Waters and others, including fellow musicians and veteran American Communist Angela Davis.

“The cars are electric and part of the fire is the batteries that are still burning,” a spokesman for salvage company Royal Boskalis Westminster NV told the newspaper.
The news — yet another setback for the already ailing car industry — goes to show that transporting massive and highly flammable batteries comes with some inherent risks, a pertinent topic given the exponential rise of the EV.
Write-Off
The massive cargo ship, dubbed the Felicity Ace, was transporting roughly 4,000 cars, including 1,100 Porsches and 189 Bentleys, from Germany to the US. Porsche’s parent company, the Volkswagen Group, manufactures electric luxury cars including Porsche’s Taycan, the Audi e-tron, and VW’s ID.4.
Abandon Ship
But ever since the crew abandoned ship, the vessel has been adrift and on fire off the shore of the Azores islands in the Atlantic.
Crew members rescued from burning ship
Rescuers believe the 650ft long ship may be too large to be towed to a port in Azores, which is more than 900 miles from the European mainland.
Towing boats were on route from Gibraltar and the Netherlands, with three due to arrive by Wednesday.
A sixteen-person salvage team from Smit Salvage, owned by Dutch marine engineer Boskalis, was sent to the ship to help control the flames.
The Portuguese Air Force has rescued 22 crew members from the burning ship after they abandoned the vessel and were taken on board the Resilient Warrior tanker after it diverted its route to assist with the rescue.
They were then airlifted to safety in a military helicopter
All told, it sounds like a total write-off.
“The fire continues to be active, although it has diminished in intensity,” João Manuel Mendes Cabeças, an Azores port captain, told the WSJ. “The expectation is that everything or almost everything burned.”
Ocean-ready tug boats are now making their way to the Felicity Ace to pull the vessel to shore — after the raging inferno is safely extinguished.
